Italy: Italo (NTV) train staff strike on Monday 9 November 2026 (09:01–16:59, five unions)

Five rail unions — FILT-CGIL, FIT-CISL, UGL Ferrovieri, FAST-Confsal and ORSA Trasporti — have called a nationwide eight-hour strike of Italo (NTV) staff on Monday 9 November 2026, from 09:01 to 16:59. The strike was proclaimed on 27 October and entered in the transport ministry's strike register the same day.

What to expect: Italo's high-speed services across the network — Milan, Turin, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples and the southern routes — may be cancelled or delayed during the strike window, with knock-on delays for trains due to leave shortly after 17:00. The strike lies outside the legally protected morning and evening commuter bands, but Italo must run a set of guaranteed trains and publishes that list on its website before each strike; passengers on cancelled trains can rebook or claim a refund. Trenitalia and Trenord are not covered by this call.

Why: the unions have not yet published the reasons for the call; this page will be updated when they do.
